context

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.

context is everything around and about something, typically the nearer the more relevant, such as the graphic design surrounding a post, information around a post like the reply-context for a reply or its longer thread and previous discussions on the subject, posts by an author (perhaps of the same type) before and after a particular post, or conditions around a post like location, weather, date, and time of day.

IndieWeb Examples

• Chris Aldrich has been using the Post Kinds Plugin to add reply-contexts to his site (especially for replies, bookmarks, reads, watches, listens) since ????-??-??. He uses the Simple Location plugin to frequently add weather and location related context to his posts since ????-??-??.

Other Examples

• LiveJournal has functionality in their post entry for adding location, mood and listen data. see documentation at: https://www.livejournal.com/support/faq/32.html

It also has the ability to do custom mood themes.
